Warm leggings, also known as thermal leggings, are designed with additional layers, fleece linings and special stitching, all of which work together to create air cushions and conserve heat. Despite all this extra thermal fabric technology, thermal leggings look and feel exactly like regular leggings, so you can wear them with normal outfits for any occasion. The thermal properties of warm leggings make them especially perfect for winter months when temperatures drop.

Also known as thermal socks, warm socks are made with particularly thick and tight knit material to make sure that your feet stay warmer for longer!

Warm tights and thermal tights are styles of hosiery that carry a high denier and are made with insulating properties. Thermal tights are perfect for winter as they help keep legs warm thanks to additional plush linings created using thousands of tiny loops that create a heat-conserving air cushion between your skin and the elements. Warm tights can come in all sorts of colours and styles, and have a sleek, solid appearance thanks to the high denier.
